If Alsa has anything to do with them, then yes, they are classified as
snd.

If I remember correctly, you said the midi controllers are connected
by usb, right?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Assuming I remembered correctly, there's two of the modules right there.

Most of the modules with 'midi' in their name are used by both the midi
controllers and emu10k1, from what I can see.
Also, have you tried doing any googling to see what modules are needed
for your midi controllers? I suspect it is just those two I pointed out
above. Which means to always have the midi controllers in a certain
order, not just after or before the the emu10k1, you will need to do
more research on /etc/modprobe.d/sound, /proc/asound/cards and alsa so
that you can tell it which order to put them in. Sorry, I have never
had an emu10k1, more than one sound card or midi controllers, so I am
going on the limited information you have provided.
HTH,
Jacob
